Marusya is a research and design studio, developing and producing award winning easy grip products.
Our products are light, well balanced, and easy to grip, designed for users with reduced strength, limited mobility,
and swollen or painful joints associated with various hand conditions.
Through our extensive testing procedures which include collaboration with rheumatologists, hand therapists,
occupational therapists, and users of all ages, we are able to maintain both aesthetic and ergonomic excellence
throughout our product lines.
Celebrating 25 years of design for the aging population.
The founding of the company began in Boston in 1988, designing privately for a variety of hand problems. Looking in the catalogs, we were appalled at the lack of style, grace and choice adaptive tableware displayed. Thus began collaboration with OTs and PTs, nationally and abroad. Therapists were very enthusiastic about preserving their patients’ dignity and quality of life. Marusya began an ongoing study of the etiology of common hand problems and their application to product design in collaboration with many rheumatologists and hand therapists.
Our motto has always been “People may not necessarily be disabled, but they can be disabled by design”. We continue to consult with rheumatologists and hand therapists to test the ergonomic and aesthetic impact of our products on hand function.
